You Wanna Piece of my Heart

[Notes from a sunny weekend:]

[Don't have several beers at a friendly beer-and-pizza joint on Oakland's Piedmont Avenue if you a. awoke at 6:30 AM, and b. are about to see an old film noir at the sumptuous Paramount Theatre. You will fall asleep, and be nudged by your sister several times, and she will hiss that you're turning into your father.]

[A blowjob is a fantastic way to wake up a man. It's even better than a mimosa.]

[Margaritas don't taste strong.]

[From Casey: "It is in the 30's that we want friends. In the 40's, we know they won't save us any more than love did." - F. Scott Fitzgerald. John and I can't seem to get off this particular wheel of human suffering. While we had a delightful visit with Patrick and Manuel, and later Maura, last night, we spent too much of the weekend waiting for friends' calls that never materialized.]

[Magnolia, at Haight and Masonic, makes fantastic sandwiches, fries and microbrews. Avoid the homemade colas and root beers.]

[Having phone conversations when you're stoned is difficult enough, but doing it when you know the person at the other end disapproves of pot is even worse.]

[I love him, but maybe never so much as when breaks out the turntable and his old records. Such joy.]
